Prompt neutron decay constant α in a critical state is useful information to validate the
numerically predicted ratio of the point kinetics parameters β eff/ℓ, where β eff and ℓ are the …

This paper discusses the statistical error of the variance-to-mean ratio, or the Y value in the
Feynman-α method, from a single measurement of reactor noise. As a theoretical approach …

To robustly estimate the fundamental mode component of prompt neutron decay constant α
in a subcritical system, dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is applied to time-series data …

An exact formula for the joint probability of pair neutron detection for the Rossi-α method,
which is composed of the sum of a large number of higher harmonics, is verified in this study …

Degweker and Rana (2007) have developed a noise theory considering the external
neutron source as exponentially correlated Gaussian character for Accelerator Driven …

A recently proposed method implementing a pseudo absorption term in the neutron
transport equation for α mode eigenvalue calculations in the Monte Carlo technique has …

Neutron noise analysis is a predominant technique for fissile matter identification with
passive methods. Quantifying the uncertainties associated with the estimated nuclear …

An alternative definition of neutron multiplication factor measured by the neutron source
multiplication (NSM) method is newly proposed. This newly defined neutron multiplication …

The Pál-Bell equation is a backward-type master equation that describes the probability
generating function (PGF) of neutron counts in a neutron multiplication system. Thanks to the …

The Feynman-α method is a widely used realization of the so-called” reactor noise” theory,
where static and kinetic parameters of the core are estimated by sampling statistical …
